A little Eli update

I haven't put anything about Eli on for a while, so I thought I'd take a second and let you know how he's doing :)

He's getting closer and closer to walking completely independently. He really can do it, but doesn't really seem to want to unless he knows there is someone to catch him...so, basically, lately Edgar & I have just been 'Eli catchers.'..

He's talking so much too. The other day we were outside, and he saw a butterfly. He was watching it, and it flew over the fence. He put his hands up and said "Whe-i-go?" It was so cute! He kept saying it over and over, and is now one of his favorite 'phrases'. Tonight he was looking through his books, and 'talked' non-stop for about 15 minutes. It was so cute. I thought about taking a video, but I was worried that if I got up and left his side he would stop doing it. I couldn't help but think that I am going to miss those times some day...

He's also getting taller. We finally adjusted the straps on his car seat tonight...they were way too small on him. He was getting so mad that he wasn't in it...so I strapped him in, and he was happy as a clam (are clams really happy?). He stayed there for a while and enjoyed playing with some toys.

He's such a fun little boy. Don't ya just wish you could spend as much time as we do with him? :)
